It wasn’t exactly redemption that Jason Heyward was seeking when he hit a 423-foot, game-tying homer in the ninth inning Wednesday night before an Arizona throwing error later in the inning gave the Cardinals a 4-3 victory at Busch Stadium and a series sweep of the Arizona Diamondbacks.
But Heyward didn’t deny his disappointment in making an error in the sixth inning that put the Diamondbacks ahead. “I hate not coming through for my pitchers,” he said. “To be in a big spot and come up and tie the game is awesome. But you want to do that regardless of whether you messed up before or not.
